Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, I like the roof of the passenger cars too. In
the folder, I made a shot of how it was build.
In response to the 6-wheeled trucks, yes, they were used actually in long
passenger cars, both in th US and UK. I modelled the cars loosely after pictures
on the web, and they unmistakenly had 3 wheelsets front and back. However, these
are not very common, mostly they only have 2 wheelsets per truck indeed.
